I have a slight problem using dimension function for this
item. I need to place a dimension parallel to the part and thru the radii centers. I have attached a pic to illustrate. Again, I will need a dimension from top center of radius to bottom center of radius, but not vertical , but parallel to long slightly angled portion.
Thanks much.

Create a construction line thru one point, perpendicular to the side of the part. Dimension from the other center to this line.

If you dimension between the two sketch points, you can RMB>>Align with edge, after you place the dimension.
